Lennon turned 8 today.
While he will never loose his silly goofball side, it has been great watching him emerge as a serious and strong leader on the soccer field this past year.
His birthday gifts included an Andromeda soccer ball, Suarez jersey, Lego building sets, and a Lego clock.
Iria made a soccer field cake for him, and Lennon set up the Lego teams.
His grandparents are visiting this weekend, which made the day extra special.
